From 2010 to 2015, implementation of the Strategy has had numerous positive impacts and paved the way for a sustainable development of the bamboo sector. For the second phase (2016-2020), several Departments and Authorities (i.e. Governor Office, PAFO, DPI, DOIC, LWU, PONRE) have joined the effort to develop more clearly the Strategy and improve its guidance while keeping up with the previous goal: that is, allowing for bamboo to become the “green gold” of Houaphanh Province. On that basis, the second 5-year Bamboo Development Strategy (2016-2020) was formulated by the Provincial Authorities, the Sam Neua, Viengxay & Sobbao District Authorities, with facilitation of the Bamboo Project and support from GRET. Thus, the Strategy constitutes a strong interdepartmental effort to build a common framework and to identify clear directions to develop and maintain a sustainable bamboo industry in Houaphanh Province. The Governor of Houaphanh Province, on behalf of the people of Houaphanh Province, would like to thank all involved Departments and Authorities at the Provincial, District and Village levels as well as the local communities and the private sector. On this occasion, I would also like to acknowledge the role of GRET as main facilitator, providing financial and technical support to formulate the Strategy. The strategy will constitute a reference for all bamboo stakeholders to develop the sector. THE PROVINCIAL GOVERNOR p 9 The Second 5-Year Bamboo Development Strategy (2016-2020), Houaphanh Province EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The first 5-year Bamboo Development Strategy (2010-2015) has been implemented by the Authorities of Houaphanh Province and of the three Districts of Sam Neua, Viengxay & Sobbao with the support of the Bamboo Project operated GRET and SNV. The value chain approach adopted during the first phase proved effective for mobilizing stakeholders (villagers, traders, investors, government staffs) around five bamboo- based value chains: handicraft & furniture (Khouane, Hok, Luang bamboo species) and fresh bamboo shoots (Khom species) for the domestic market and dried bamboo shoots (Hok species), paper pulp (Xang species) and slats & sticks (Khouane species) for the Vietnamese market. Based on the lessons learned from the first phase, a multi level consultation has been organized by the provincial and district authorities in cooperation with the Bamboo Task Force and Gret between May and July 2015. The first phase was estimated to be quite successful, as compared to its original objectives. A second 5-year Bamboo Development Strategy (2016-2020) was then designed, with the following targets : • 5 000 Households involved in bamboo activities (1800 Households in 2015) • Expand the allocation natural bamboo forests to villagers, forest management plans and forest monitoring activities in 10-30 new villages or 5 000 ha (26 villages and 3400 ha managed in 2015) • Generate USD 1,0 million from domestic trade and exports of bamboo products (USD 450 000 generated in 2010-2015) This will involve the following strategies : • Approve and implement favorable and supportive policies on bamboo resource allocation and tenure, import and export tax reduction and exemption, investment incentives and improvement of the quota system • Design and implement new activities to support new potential bamboo value chains (May Dja or other) • Create a Bamboo Service Center as an independent entity able to provide services to bamboo value chains stakeholders; an entity that will continue supporting the sustainable development of the sector • Gather the bamboo Producer Groups into a broader organization (association or cooperative) 11 The Second 5-Year Bamboo Development Strategy (2016-2020), Houaphanh Province The overall objective of the second 5-year Bamboo Development Strategy (2016- 2020) is to have the bamboo sector providing stable and sustainable incomes and employments while contributing to poverty alleviation and the conservation of the forest and upland environments. It is expected that the improved capacity of the provincial and district authorities and the emergence of local non-governmental actors will create a fertile ground for co-implementation and co-management of the new Bamboo Development Strategy. Three main results are particularly expected: 1- the securing of land tenure rights on bamboo plantations and the support of market-oriented natural forest management by local authorities; 2- the emergence of bamboo producer groups able to play a primary role in managing forests sustainably, developing bamboo plantations, delivering extension services, and developing local handicraft and pre-processing units to supply

Official economic projections in “Five-year National Development Plan 2001-2005” and “Long-term Development Plan 2001-2020” were described in Section 5.1. The Five-year Plan has a more specific projection that includes sectoral scenarios, but the “Long-term Plan” shows overall targets for the year 2020. In this study, then, the future projections are based on the “Five-year Plan” projection scenario. The criteria for the projection are assumed as follows. (1) That major sectors grow at the following annual rates until 2005 as proposed in the “Five-year Plan”: 4.5% in the agricultural sector, 10.5% in the industrial sector, 8.5% in the services sector and a 7.0% rise from import duties. As a result, the GDP is expected to grow at 7.0% per annum on average during the planned period. (2) That after 2005, the respective sectors grow at the same rates as set in the “Five-year Plan” until the target year 2020. The GDP projected with the above assumptions are shown in Table 25-1.
